A trick I’ve used for years is soap or another lubricant to slip the ring off, but it can still be very painful to remove the ring and it can damage the tissues of your finger. And if swelling is too bad, it doesn’t work at all!

How to Remove a Ring Off a Swollen Finger

While there are other methods for removing a stuck ring in your fingers, including the lubricant method and using of dental floss, this one comes highly recommended. Turns out, it helps reduce the swelling and numbs down the pain so let’s get to it.

Step 1: Wrap Elastics Around Your Fingers

For this method of removing a stuck ring, you will need a piece of elastic and a pair of tweezers.

Start by wrapping the elastic tightly around the finger, starting at the tip and working your way up to the ring. This will compress the tissue to stop the swelling.

Step 2: Wrap Elastics Tightly

It’s important to wrap the elastic as tightly as possible. Once you reach the ring, use your tweezers to pull the elastic through.

Step 3: Unravel Elastic Wrap

Next, grab the end of the elastic and begin pulling it toward the tip of your finger. As you do, the elastic will begin to “spiral” down the finger, pulling the ring along with it.

Step 4: Pull Off the Ring

Finally, it will reach the tip of your finger and you can then easily pull it off.

Give a Sigh of Relief!

When given as a token of strong regard, a ring is a sentimental object which becomes a part of you. Sometimes, in an even freaky and literal kind of way, especially when it gets stuck in your finger!
